The kindest thing you can do for a student who achieved 99% is inform them they fell short. If that statement makes you uncomfortable, this role isn't for you. If it resonates, continue reading.
Alpha students complete their academic learning in two hours daily via self-directed AI-driven applications. No traditional teachers. No lectures. No classroom subject instruction. This structure allows you to focus on what genuinely shifts outcomes: facilitating high-impact workshops on communication skills, concentration, and critique; driving students toward full goal achievement using live analytics; and developing the Guides working beside you.
Your day might begin with a coaching conversation with a Guide, analyzing performance metrics and pinpointing where a group is underperforming. Mid-morning brings a live student workshop where you execute a structured activity on constructive feedback exchange. Afternoons involve motivational work: engaging individual students, discovering their intrinsic drivers, and applying Alpha's reward framework to re-engage a reluctant middle schooler. You directly lead your own cohort, ensuring you maintain the same competencies you're teaching others to build.
You've likely been the outlier in educational environments: excessively analytical, excessively outcome-oriented, excessively comfortable questioning conventional approaches with students. Alpha may be the first environment that aligns with your philosophy. You'll develop other Guides immediately, and as you demonstrate impact at scale, your authority over campus-wide program standards expands.
Uphold the benchmark. Transform the learner. Submit your application.
What you will be doing
- Facilitating structured one-hour workshops on essential competencies (communication, concentration, constructive critique) for elementary and middle school groups, executing Alpha's established framework rather than creating content
- Conducting motivational interventions using performance analytics and Alpha's reward mechanisms (campus currency, performance rankings) to achieve complete student goal attainment
- Developing Guides in program consistency and standard maintenance, ensuring each coaching interaction yields specific performance improvements
- Directly managing your own student group while simultaneously building capacity in other Guides
- Monitoring student engagement metrics, completion percentages, and Guide effectiveness indicators weekly to identify declining performance before escalation
What you will NOT be doing
- Instructing or tutoring students in academic content. Students progress through self-directed applications without adult academic instruction.
- Creating curriculum or developing original lesson materials. The framework is established; success requires precise execution, not innovation.
- Training Guides on instructional methods. Guides don't instruct, so your focus is developing their energy, motivation capacity, and accountability practices.
- Accepting 99% performance when 100% is the standard. Maintaining expectations demonstrates your confidence in their capability.
- Serving as the campus emotional safety net. Students receive genuine connection alongside honest assessment and meaningful consequences.
Key responsibilities
Fulfill Alpha's three commitments to every student in your cohort: they develop enthusiasm for school, accelerate learning at double the traditional pace, and acquire practical life competencies.
